With Hurricane Sandy bearing down on New York City, Isaiah-Triforce Johnson (real name: Isaiah-Triforce Johnson) has been told to vacate his position as first in line to purchase a Wii U at Nintendo World in Manhattan. The console releases in 21 days.

Despite the suspension of his stakeout, Triforce's mood seemed to be upbeat. "I'm a diehard Nintendo gamer but I'm not going to die hard for a video game system," he tweeted.

Triforce says he is accompanied by just one other person, "but he's not on the line for the Wii U yet. He's just out here with me because he's a friend." This means Triforce is not, technically, forming a line for the Wii U, but rather a point.

@jwonggg The heck with Sandy. She ain't nothing. (packs up stuff ready to go home at 6pm) I'll body her free.
